Sports 4
All
came up with an
ingenious way to raise
money. They are asking
for your used wine
corks. They are
gathering corks from
local restaurants,
individuals and now
retailers, sorting them,
and then they sell them
to artists all over the
country and beyond.
"There is an artist in
California who has a
large standing order we
can't fill at the
moment", Sara Koppelman,
Program Manager told me
recently. Sports 4
All raises money
and solicits sporting
equipment and provides
equipment and
recreational
opportunities for
disabled persons of all
ages.
